Jonathan Hovis masterful for Tar Heels

Posted Jun 2, 2006

A dean's list student, Jonathan Hovis graduated in four years with a degree in exercise and sport science and never took a summer school course. He also was a group leader in Athletes in Action and participated in the Carolina Leadership Academy program. "He's a model citizen," Andrew Miller said. That's also why, instead of spending a lot of time telling the younger Tar Heels players what to do, or what not to do, Fox said: "We tell them to watch Jonathan." (Raleigh News & Observer)
